The camera device includes a lens module, a light-guiding tube and a photosensitive sensor; the light-guiding tube is arranged at a periphery of a light-entering hole of the lens module; the light-guiding tube is connected to the photosensitive sensor; and the photosensitive sensor is connected to a circuit board of the lens module.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
       1. A camera device, comprising a lens module, a light-guiding tube and a photosensitive sensor;
 wherein the light-guiding tube is arranged at a periphery of a light-entering hole of the lens module, and the light-guiding tube is connected to the photosensitive sensor; and 
 the photosensitive sensor is connected to a circuit board of the lens module; 
 wherein the light-guiding tube comprises a first light-guiding segment and a second light-guiding segment; 
 the first light-guiding segment is arranged at the periphery of the light-entering hole of the lens module; and 
 the second light-guiding segment and the photosensitive sensor are arranged inside the lens module, and the second light-guiding segment is connected to the photosensitive sensor; or, 
 the photosensitive sensor is arranged outside the lens module, and the second light-guiding segment is connected to the photosensitive sensor. 
 
     
     
       2. The device according to  claim 1 , wherein
 the lens module further comprises a camera sensor; and 
 the camera sensor and the photosensitive sensor are arranged on the circuit board of the lens module. 
 
     
     
       3. The device according to  claim 1 , wherein the first light-guiding segment completely surrounds the light-entering hole, or the first light-guiding segment partially surrounds the light-entering hole. 
     
     
       4. The device according to  claim 1 , wherein an outer surface of the first light-guiding segment is provided with a one-way light-guiding coating, and the one-way light-guiding coating guides light from an external of the lens module into the first light-guiding segment. 
     
     
       5. The device according to  claim 4 , wherein the one-way light-guiding coating is a one-way vision reflective film or a one-way vision film. 
     
     
       6. The device according to  claim 1 , wherein the first light-guiding segment completely surrounds the light-entering hole, or the first light-guiding segment partially surrounds the light-entering hole. 
     
     
       7. The device according to  claim 1 , wherein an outer surface of the first light-guiding segment is provided with a one-way light-guiding coating, and the one-way light-guiding coating guides light from an external of the lens module into the first light-guiding segment. 
     
     
       8. A mobile terminal, comprising a camera device, wherein
 the camera device comprises a lens module, a light-guiding tube and a photosensitive sensor; 
 the light-guiding tube is arranged at a periphery of a light-entering hole of the lens module, and the light-guiding tube is connected to the photosensitive sensor; 
 the photosensitive sensor is connected to a circuit board of the lens module; 
 the camera device is installed inside the mobile terminal, and a camera hole is arranged on a cover plate of the mobile terminal; and 
 both the light-entering hole and the light-guiding tube arranged at the periphery of the light-entering hole face to the camera hole; 
 wherein the light-guiding tube comprises a first light-guiding segment and a second light-guiding segment; 
 the first light-guiding segment is arranged at the periphery of the light-entering hole of the lens module; and 
 the second light-guiding segment and the photosensitive sensor are arranged inside the lens module, and the second light-guiding segment is connected to the photosensitive sensor; or, 
 the photosensitive sensor is arranged outside the lens module, and the second light-guiding segment is connected to the photosensitive sensor. 
 
     
     
       9. The mobile terminal according to  claim 8 , wherein
 a one-way light-guiding coating covers a surface of the cover plate facing to the light-guiding tube; and the one-way light-guiding coating guides light from an external of the mobile terminal into an inside of the mobile terminal. 
 
     
     
       10. The mobile terminal according to  claim 8 , further comprising a main board, wherein the main board is connected to the circuit board of the lens module, and receives signals sent by the photosensitive sensor and a camera sensor. 
     
     
       11. The mobile terminal according to  claim 8 , wherein
 the lens module further comprises a camera sensor; and 
 the camera sensor and the photosensitive sensor are arranged on the circuit board of the lens module. 
 
     
     
       12. The mobile terminal according to  claim 8 , wherein the first light-guiding segment completely surrounds the light-entering hole, or the first light-guiding segment partially surrounds the light-entering hole. 
     
     
       13. The mobile terminal according to  claim 8 , wherein an outer surface of the first light-guiding segment is provided with a one-way light-guiding coating, and the one-way light-guiding coating guides light from an external of the lens module into the first light-guiding segment. 
     
     
       14. The mobile terminal according to  claim 13 , wherein the one-way light-guiding coating is a one-way vision reflective film or a one-way vision film. 
     
     
       15. The mobile terminal according to  claim 8 , wherein the first light-guiding segment completely surrounds the light-entering hole, or the first light-guiding segment partially surrounds the light-entering hole.
